I. POLICY STATEMENT

An additional teaching assignment for those on a twelve-month (7/8 Plan) appointment will be compensated at a fixed rate per contact hour. An additional teaching assignment for those on a nine-month appointment will be compensated at a fixed rate per contact hour. For teaching performed at the request of the University during a non-teaching term, retirement benefits proportional to the established rate of compensation will be paid. In either of the above instances, this pay will be included in the normal payroll check as it accrues. Should a short-term disability occur, compensation will be provided at the rate of base pay in effect at the time said disability occurs.

The fixed rate per contact hour shall be established prior to each academic year by the Provost as a part of the normal annual university budget process.
